The good vibes from Bluffton High’s record-setting 2011 season have carried right over to spring practice.

Bluffton head coach Ken Cribb said Wednesday the biggest issue for his staff has been finding enough uniforms for the 150 players who showed up the first day. Twelve starters are back from a team that made the SCHSL Class AAA title game and set a state scoring record.

“You can tell that the kids have been with us,” Cribb said. “When all of our returning kids are on the field, it’s like we just finished the season last week. Their knowledge, experience, expectations — it’s all evident, it’s easy to see.”

One of the Bobcats’ top priorities this spring was to integrate a largely new set of skill players into their pistol offense. Cribb entered practice confident that the newcomers were talented enough to step in, and he likes what he’s seen so far.

Jeremy Scott and Tykeem Major, both rising seniors, and rising junior Vinny Boni have impressed Cribb with their play in the backfield. Gerald Robinson, who quarterbacked an unbeaten junior varsity team last fall, is also pushing for playing time at wing back.

Scott spent last season at cornerback, but moved over to offense in the offseason. He’s looking to replace his older brother, Jerry, who put up huge numbers as a senior.

“He’s lived up to the billing,” Cribb said of Jeremy Scott. “It’s been exciting to see that he can do what I hoped he could do. It’s new to him, but once he’s got it all down mentally, it’s going to be some exciting times with him back there.”

The skill players have the luxury of playing with an experienced quarterback in C.J. Frazier, who threw 56 touchdown passes in 15 games last season. Frazier is working with a set of four receivers whom Cribb said all stand 6 feet, 3 inches or taller.

“It’s almost illegal. It’s like having a coach quarterbacking for you,” Cribb said. “He’s so accurate. He’s a difference-maker.”

Bluffton closes spring practice with an intrasquad scrimmage Friday at Bobcat Stadium. The team will take donations at the gate to raise money for helmets and uniforms.

Increased participation has left the program short on equipment, Cribb said, and he doesn’t want to have to cut anyone in the fall if they don’t have enough helmets.

Cribb anticipates dressing out as many as 70 players for junior varsity games next season.

“Our numbers have almost doubled since (2010),” he said. “I’ve never cut before, and I don’t want to start.”

The spring game will break the Bobcats down into two teams: The No. 1 offense and No. 2 defense on one team, and the No. 1 defense and No. 2 offense on the other.

Defensive coordinator John Houpt said his unit, which allowed 12 points per game with four shutouts last season, is eager to match up with Bluffton’s prolific offense Friday night.
